Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Reading
Match Time & Date:
14/12/2024
16:00
Prediction: 1-2
Blackpool
Select Car Leasing Stadium will be the centre of attention when Reading and Blackpool lock horns in the League One round 20. The Royals are undefeated in the previous five league games and they will be fully focused on the English third tier after suffering elimination to Walsall in the EFL Trophy last 32. Both David Button and Ashqar Ahmed are banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, did well to beat Shrewsbury 2-1 in their last league match and given aforementioned absentees in the home team, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting at the venue Reading defeated Blackpool 3-2, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Reading):
Reading FC is a professional football club that play in the Championship. The club was formed in 1871 and Madejski Stadium has been the home of Reading since 1998. The Royals used to play their home games at Elm Park in the past (1896 - 1998). Reading made it to the FA Cup semi-finals on two occasions (1927, 2015), but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy.
The likes of Robin Friday, Trevor Senior, Steve Death, Shaka Hislop, Phil Parkinson, Alf Messer, Jimmy Quinn, Michael Gilkes, Ronnie Blackman, Pavel Pogrebnyak and Martin Hicks are some of their more notable footballers. Aldershot Town were considered Reading’s fiercest rivals, but the Shots went out of business in 1992.
Seeing that Aldershot rejoined the league in 2008 it remains to be seen if the rivalry is going to be re-established in near future. Swindon Town and Oxford United are considered Reading’s big rivals as well.
